Kumamoto Castle, one of the three famous castles in Japan, was rebuilt from Kumamoto Castle in the Muromachi Period. It covers an area of ​​98 square meters. A castle of considerable size.After buying the ticket at the entrance, you can freely get a Chinese introduction. If you are familiar with Japanese, you can also use the whole point of a dedicated group tour to better understand the history of Kumamoto Castle.I think the most special thing is that there are guards in ancient costumes in the city. Travelers can come forward and ask to take pictures together. Sometimes it is a ninja who will pose for everyone to take pictures.

Our group took the streetcar to Kumamoto Castle.Get off at the station in front of the city hall and walk to Kumamoto Castle. It’s just that I’m too physically fit, so I just want to take a break and catch my breath. (Hiding your face) Basically, I would recommend that everyone walk to Josai-en next to Kumamoto Castle, and take the free shuttle bus here to Kumamoto Castle to save the effort to visit this famous city, but if it is arranged for cherry blossom viewing When visiting in season, remember to go out early or go up on foot, because there are many beautiful cherry blossoms along the way.

▲ Guide time in the city.

Due to the large scale of Kumamoto Castle with a total length of 5.3 kilometers, it is recommended that you wear a pair of walking shoes when visiting here, and don't torture your feet!When you buy a ticket and go inside, you will see some huge stone walls. The main reason is that Kiyomasa Kato is very good at building stone walls. Kumamoto Castle is also the longest stone wall in Japan. "Return" is easy to defend and difficult to attack.There are three castle towers in the castle. You can see the design and gun muzzle built for the military at that time. There are also cultural relics of Kato Kiyomasa displayed in the pavilion. It can be seen that it is not only military, but also capable of civil construction such as water control and city construction.
